The problem started with implicit US support of the jewish terrorist
organization, The Irgun. After WWII, Britian was put in charge of
Palestine who had supported the Axis during the war. The Jews,
however, thought that the region was due to them and began a terrorist
campaign against the British to get it.
After numerous attacks and disruptions the Irgun had their coup. They
hijacked a milk truck, killed it's Palestinian driver, filled it full
of explosives and detonated it in a hotel many British soldiers were
bunked at.
The blast killed about 30 British soldiers and 70 others. Britain
prompted pulled out of the region leaving the Irgun with the country.
The Irgun's leader, Menahem Begin, eventually became the Prime
Minister of Israel.
To Arabs the lesson was, if you conduct a terrorist campaign against
the occupiers they'll pull out and you'll get the country. This has
been the policy, on the whole, that Arabs have pursued ever since.
